Snow Day

Chapter 84: It's good to be Home

"What is it?" Riley asked, coming over and kneeling down beside her sister.

"Here," she said, handing Riley a small object and something with looked very much like two small scrolls, each tied together using a small red ribbon. "Jamie and Sophie made you something," Sophia said sweetly, as she watched her sister open them.

The first one was what appeared to be a little vile or weird shaped looking snow globe; as Riley looked closer, she could see what looked like a little plastic clay model of Pitch— all around him tiny grains of black sand could be seen, and when shucken up they appeared to be dancing around him.

The scroll, or at least; one of the scrolls housed Sophie's gift, and when Riley looked at it, she almost squealed with glee.

For what she saw she had yet to believe— a mere three year old had done the impossible. For the image Riley held in her hand was... indeed, it was a horse, but it was all grainy like it had been produced with black sand.

Riley didn't know what to say, as she went to hang the pretty image on the wall overlooking her bed.

"This was the best adventure of my life" Riley sighed, flopped down on her bed.

"I'll say..." Her sister nodded, pulling the cover of her sleeping bag back. "It's just great to be home— back with mom and dad" she added, nestling under the warm and toasty covers.

"Sophia?" Riley asked, getting under the sheets of her bed.

"Yes..." Sophia yawned.

"Do— do you think this is the end?"

"Hmmm..." came an exhausted sound from beside her.

"W— what I mean is, will we ever see our guardian friends again? And what about Hogwarts?"

"Gees Riley..." she yawned. "You worry too much... we'll see all our friends in do time— as for Hogwarts, they told me that they'll gladly welcome you back starting next... fall" she yawned in between the words 'next' and 'fall'.
